I went from 0 to 13K Followers on Twitter in 10 months. Here's how.

  1. Growth from 0 to 100 followers

I connected with people (in DM) who did the same things as me at that time. As a result, we engaged with each other content. More engagement → more impressions → more new connections.

Also, I added some boosters for a smooth start: active hashtags, tagged tools, and used visual content. If I should start from the beginning once again, I’d do the same.

  1. Growth from 100 to 1K followers

I stayed consistent. Tweeted 1-2 times daily, replied 10-20 times daily, connected with new people, and experimented with new content formats. Yes, it takes time.

What helped?

Buildinpublic, Growinpublic, and Learninpublic content. You don’t need to be a content farm providing educational content 24/7.

  1. Growth from 1K to 5K followers

I continued being consistent and engaging with followers. The only change - I switched my focus from engaging with big accounts to engaging in my account.

  1. Growth from 5K to 13K followers

Experiments, experiments, and one more time experiments. At this point, you need to stand out from the accounts in the same niche. The good decision is to add some personal content about your lifestyle, traveling, etc., so that people remember you.

Growing your personal brand gives you a lot of opportunities. So, start small, find your audience, experiment, double down on what works, and most importantly - have fun.

P.S. I deconstructed my growth from the very beginning in a Notion file. Tips, secrets, and real examples with self-reflection.
